Fundus image display system

Abstract

In a fundus image display system, a fundus image, time information and a tool bar are displayed on a monitor screen. In case where the tool bar overlaps with the fundus image or the time information, the tool bar is made transparent in the overlapped portion so at to perceive the fundus image and the time information with eyes, and a smooth diagnosis is possible, watching the fundus image, thereby.

1. Fundus image display system for displaying a fundus image on a monitor screen, comprising:
 a fundus image display unit for displaying a fundus image as a color image and/or a fluorescent image on said monitor screen; 
 a time information display unit for displaying time information on said monitor screen in case where said fundus image to be displayed is said fluorescent image; 
 a tool bar display unit for displaying a tool bar on said monitor screen; 
 a fundus image display area detector for detecting a display area of said fundus image on said monitor screen; 
 a time information display area detector for detecting a display area of said time information on said monitor screen; 
 a tool bar display area detector for detecting a display area of said tool bar on said monitor screen; 
 a display area judging unit for judging whether or not said display area of said tool bar overlaps with said display area of said fundus image or said time information; and 
 a tool bar transparency adjuster for raising a transparency of at least overlapped portion between said display area of said tool bar and said display area of said fundus image or said time information so as to perceive said fundus image and said time information with eyes if said display area judging unit judges said overlap. 
 
   
   
     2. The fundus image display system according to  claim 1 , wherein said fundus image display system further has a cursor display position detector for detecting a position on said monitor screen where a cursor is displayed, and said tool bar transparency adjuster lowers said transparency of a portion said transparency of which has been raised so as to be perceived with eyes if said cursor approaches said portion.
